Hyderabad Police Name Google India Head in Cyber Fraud Cases

The Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police have named the 'Head of Google in India' as a co-accused in three cyber fraud cases.

The complainants, who are a 69-year-old man, a 40-year-old man, and a 71-year-old retired government employee, allege that they were cheated out of a total of Rs 48.79 lakh by fraudsters who used fake investment apps available on the Google Play Store.

The complainants claim that Google failed to properly moderate and restrict content on the Play Store, leading to their financial losses.

The police are seeking information from Google India about these apps and are verifying the fraudulent content.

Google is currently reviewing the matter.
